A CHARITY is appealing for mourners to attend the funeral of an RAF veteran who sadly died this month with no family or friends to grieve for him. 

The RAF Association said George Anthony Crossland was adopted with no brothers and sisters and never married or had children.

It is believed he served in Fighter Squadron 33 and served from 1960 to 1965.

The funeral will take place on Thursday at 10.20am at Warrington Crematorium, Chester Road, Walton. 

The Burtonwood and Warrington branch of the RAF Assocation will be showing their support and are encouraging anyone in the area to attend to pay their respects.
